FER0Cl0US EAGERNESS.

EDITOR BULLETIN:-So many in
teresting and useful letters on the
many important political problems
of the day appear in your columns
that they incite ones ambition to
add to the number.
Notwithstanding your pertinent
advice to "avoid haste" there is
still what | have heard described as
"feroclous eagerness" on the part
of our legislators. Now we electors
sent Representatives to the Legis-
lature with full confidence in them,
but we neither intended nor expect
ed that at a special session they
would grapple with problems which
the voters have had no opportunity
of expressing their views on.
Offices and Laws which for years
past were found no fault with are
being ruthlessly abolished or sub
verted, and all this is being done so
hastily that many of the Acts now
being passed will have to be entirely
remodelled at the next session.
Economy is good and absolutely
imperative, but underpaid officials
are seldom economical and unpaid
ones, unless considerable honorable
distinction attaches to the position,
are useless.
In Mr.. Thurston's Road bill, the
position of Chairman of the Road
Board, from whom marvellous
amount of hard work, responsibility,
good judgment, tact and good tenn
per, would be required is shorn of
all honor by the requirement that
the encumbent should give bonds.
If men are found willing to put
themselves in such thankless posi-
ton there must be more fools
amongst the patriots of this country
than we would wish to own up to.
In the meantime, while most of
the Road Supervisors have been
abolished in the country districts
there is nobody to attend to the
daily immediate requirements on
the roads that at this stormy season
of the year constantly arise. If a
bridge is damaged or tree blown
across u road it is no ones business
to put things right. The old Road
Supervisors, if they had had money
to work with would have been all
right, with u little supervision from
a competent superintendent of pub
lie works.
Permit me to suggest to the
Legislature that before making rash
changes it would be we'll to give the
old laws fair chance under such an
honest and enterprising administra-
ton as we are now happily in pos
session of. Go EASY.
The Daily bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1882-1895, 1887-12-05

in the bonds. The Minister OF
Finance is responsible for their safe
transit and delivery, and he cannot
divest himself of this responsibility
in the way proposed by Mr.. Mae
farlane. The bonds are not to be
issued until full and complete ac-
counting is had; Mr.. Macfarlane
promises an accounting in Mr..
Armstrong; name, after they have
been delivered to the subscribers.
II Minister Green acts upon Mr..
Macfarlane's transportation pro-
posal the latter will carry his point.
And as Mr.. Green said in the House
that he considered that part of the
letter all right it is to be presumed
that he is ready to do so. He had
much better make his own arrange
ments for the transmission and de-
livery of the bonds. y There has
been muddle enough already with
out making fresh mistakes.
CAUTION.

A TRIBUTE FROM KAUAI.

DR.. j. w. Smith, the last of the
old missionaries on Kauai, died
early on the morning of the lst inst,
at the advanced age of II years and
six months. DIR. Smith came here
in the prime of life, and was an
honest worker for the Lord for
many years. Physician not only to
the body, but to the soul, he never
shirked any duty however trivial.
Friend alike to rich and poor, to
natives as well as to Portuguese,
none ever preferred a request of
him, who went away dissatisfied.
In the early days Of his labors here,
he was the only physician on the
Island, and there are many who can
testify to his arduous labOrs. Dis
lance was never taken into account
when message come that a patient
needed him, and there is one case
on record where he rode from Koloa
to Hanalei, distance of more than
40 miles, and much Of it bad road,
in 4 hours time. Fresh horses
awaited him at various places, and
as quickly as he disnounted from
one jaded beast, he bestrode fresh
animal, and there was scarcely a
moments delay. This energy and
activity, this eagerness to do every
thing with his whole heart and soul,
remained with him to the last, for
only two weeks before his death,
he held two services in the church
where the native pastor was sick.
A man who was so kind and good
to strangers-what must he have
been to his family? A tender hus-
band, an affectionate father and
grandfather, how they will miss his
loving counsel, his gentle manner!
In this their hour of grief and
heavy affection, only the God
in whom their lost one trusted, can
give them consolation. A good man
has gone to his heavenly home, and
of him it may be truly said: "Well
done, good and faithful servant /;
thou hast been faithful over many
things" *~*

A LITTLE TOO FAST.

A tendency of the present Legis-
lature, according to our interpreted
ton of their proceedings, is to go a
little too fast. The majority of the
legislators think otherwise. By
and-by, after a little more expert
ence and reflection, they may think
we were right, We sincerely hope
they may not have occasion to do so.
Holding the conservative view
that we dc, we have repeatedly
warned our mortal, fallible repre-
sentatives not to hastily crush in"
where men of greater experience
would '.fear TO tread" We are not
The Daily bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1882-1895, 1887-12-05

disappointed that our warning has
been UNDECIDED, because we did not
expect that it would receive the at
tention it merited. Why should the
Assembled Wisdom" Of the nation
listen to the utterances of a news
paper? Others, too, have sounded
n similar warning, among whom is
Judge Hartwell, gentleman whose
age, experience, and ability fully
qualify him TO be the instructor of
majority of the House. But still
the impulsive members have crush
ed in, and some of them have
afterwards confessed to their friends
that they really did not know what
they were about.
Grave measures, abruptly upset
ting long-established practices, have
been and are being passed into statu-
tory laws, without the careful and
thorough consideration which their
Importance requires and demands.
1t would have been well if some, at
least, of these measures, after hav-
ing been introduced, had been held
over to the next regular session in
May, 1888; and thus time would
have been allowed Ministers, Mem
bers, and the People to have studied
and digested them, and the feeling
of the taxpayers regarding them
would have been better understood.
1t is not wise diplomacy nor sound
craftsmanship TO legislate III advance
of public sentiment. Nor is it
always wise to yield, to the full
length, to an excited and unrenect-
ing public cry. History is full of
instances of men who have served
the interests of the hour and suffer-
ed the disgrace of years, who have
hourished in the applause of the day
and persisted under the contempt of
after time. 1t is to be hoped that
such will not be the experience of
our great men, Members and Minis
tiers, and that our fear of their going
a little too fast may prove to have
been foolish.

THOSE ENGLISH BONDS AGAIN.

EDITOR BULLETIN Are we never to
hear the end of those English bonds?
They have given trouble enough in
all conscience and the Minister of
Finance should be delighted to get
them safely out of his hands and
into the hands of the subscribers to
the loan. Here Mr.. Geo. w. Mac
farlane kindly and considerably
steps in to help the Minister. With
his usual foresight he has antici-
pated everything, and made arrange
ments for shipping the bonds per
Wells, Fargo q Co.'S express to
Matheson & Co., leaving nothing for
the Minister to do but to acquiesce.
1t was very thoughtful of this gentle
man, but was it not little prema-
ture? In what capacity does he act?
His functions as Financial Agent for
the Government are at an end. He
has performed them, as everyone
knows, and has no further interest

SATURDAY, DEC. 3, 1887.
THE EXTRA SESSION LONG
DRAWN, AND WHY?

The extra session of the Legisla-
ture has drawn out to a much great
er length than was expected by the
House or by the public. To-day is
the 26th day of the session, and
"the end is not yet" Ten or twelve
days should have suflced for the
necessary work of the session. But
volumes of work have been piled in
by Ministers and private members
that the special session had no bust
ness with, and that should have
been kept for the regular session.
1t was generally understood that
the calling together of the Legisla-
tors in extra session was mainly on
account of the financial affairs of the
country and a little legislation ne
cessitated by the adoption of a new
Constitution. Little else was need
ed. In fact, it is, or should have
been, Government" session; that
is, session at which none but Gov
eminent measures are admissible.
AS soon as the Legislative Body
was regularly organized, by the
swearing in of Members, appoint
ment of officers, &C., the House had
right to look for the presentation
of the Government measures indi-
Gated in the Kings speech, so that
their consideration could have been
at once proceeded with. These dis
posed of, nothing remained but adj
journment to the regular session. If
the House proved too refractory to
be thus led by the Cabinet, then the
Cabinet could have followed the
precedent of other countries and
vindicated its own dignity by step
ping down and out"
But when the Legislators met and
the House was organized, the Min
listers were not ready with their
measures, and private members be-
gan to thrust forward bills, resolu-
tions, and goodness knows what
not, I'D Hbituna, the Ministers occa-
sionally sandwiching in bill among
the others.
Thus it has continued day after
day, and week after week-a jum-
BILE, a higgledy-piggledy mass of
men without leadership. Where so
much was expected in the way of
improved methods and capable
dictatorship, SO little has been rea-
lized, that the once expectant out
siders feel somewhat Inundated.
Let us charitably hope that some re-
form will have been effected in this
regard by the time the regular ses-
sion comes around in May next.

Catching a Wandering Soul.

The British Columbia Indians be-
lieved hat sickness arises from two
causes. Slight indisposition they sup
posed to be due to the soul leaving the
body. At the first departure, they
said, the body begins TO sickrn, and il
the soul is not captured, brought back.
and redeposited the body will die. 1t
was the business of the medicine-man
to catch straying souls and bring them
back. He carried N his person a hol-
low bone, covered in 4 peculiar way.
in which he was supposed to deposit
the souls when captured. Hc was be-
lieyed also to know whose soul he had
caught, and he at once ANNOUNCED TO
the soullcss body what he had done.
He was Immediately sent for in case of
illness. and upon his arrival he seated
the sick man or oma upon a mat
and began his incantations. shaking
his rattle. When he had ~rcdcposited
the captured soul in the head of its
owner he was well paid for his sery-
